China's Communist Party has voted to enshrine President Xi Jinping's ideology in its constitution, making him the country's most powerful leader since chairman Mao Zedong.
Mr Xi has steadily increased his grip on power since becoming leader in 2012.
The unanimous vote to write in "Xi Jinping thought" took place at the end of the Communist Party congress.
More than 2,000 delegates have been meeting behind closed doors at the nation's most important political meeting in Beijing.
That meeting concludes today.
